As a farmer and producer, living in the Forest most of my life, I find it disturbing that in my lifetime the active farming community has dwindled to an alarmingly low level, of course there are still many smallholders making use of their 'commoners rights' and producing products that can be sold locally, but without the support of our local communities, residents and business the future of these foresters look bleak.
I congratulate Forest Marquee and Forest Friendly Farming and other bodies that are successfully promoting local produce, but this is only a start, we desperately need the entire community to support our local producers or else we will lose them.
